Ruler - Master of the Mask Episode 17

Hwa-gun goes to Dae Mok and tells him that she is in love with the peddler's head, so leave the head alone. She says that she will kill herself when he kills the head. 

Ga-eun finds out that Chun-soo has been fighting against Pyunsoo group and that is why he was trying to keep a distance from her. 

Hwa-gun makes a deal with her grandfather, Dae Mok that she will be Dae Pyun Soo, the successor of current Dae Mok in the condition to save the life of the head. 

He accepts the proposal and introduces Hwa-gun to the elders. The elders doubt about the royalty of Hwa-gun, but she rather scolds the incompetence of current Pyunsoo and says that she will raise the group up again.

Hwa-gun sees the head with Ga-eun. Gon worries of her and asks her to remove Ga-eun. Hwa-gun says it doesn't matter because she can give something the head needs that anyone else can't give. 

King also heard the news of the head. Queen mother visits the king and will keep the promise to bring Ga-eun to him in return for his help this time. 

Prince is recruiting people who are against Pyunsoo to fill the positions in the palace. 

One day, a girl is found poisoned. She testified that there is a field deep in the mountain that grows poisons plants with about 20 young girls working. 

Wo Boo looking at the new drug she was holding is suspicious of Pyunsoo's involvement on this matter.
